The NIAS fellows year group 2021/22 includes 47 scholars, writers and artists from over twenty disciplines. They come together at NIAS to pursue their project in an interdisciplinary, collaborative slow-science environment.
These fellows will become member of a carefully selected community of independent thinkers, where the space is created to ask new questions beyond disciplinary boundaries.
NIAS Fellows are selected through a competitive external review process on the basis of the quality of the research proposal. The fellows are offered a working space, accommodation, shared lunch, and the opportunity to present and discuss their work in progress for constructive feedback in weekly seminars. NIAS expects to welcome the majority of fellows in person.
